It's definitely a money grab in an attempt to recoup costs.. I remember being told by somebody at a Public Health Conference that where they have them installed, some people are so ticked off that they open the dispenser and take all the toilet paper when they leave. End result was that some places had to hire full time washroom attendants, and these washroom attendants were required to check on the bathrooms even more often... Of course the advertising around it suggested that the money was ensuring cleaner washrooms all the time.
Also reminds me of a poem I first read 40 years ago in a washroom stall.
Here I sit, broken hearted... paid a dime and only fa##ed,
Yesterday I took a chance... saved a dime, and s#$t my pants.
